Toshiba Portege R700 Boast WiMAX 4G Connectivity

Toshiba has been selling mobile computers for a long time now and, since it obviously wants to either keep up or stay ahead of trends, has now decided to deliver a pair of Portege laptops equipped with 4G wireless connectivity.

WiMAX may not be especially widespread right now, especially not on a worldwide level (it is available in 54 cities at this time), but its coverage is steadily growing.

As a 4G connectivity technology, it is faster than current solutions, making it especially convenient for mobile PCs since desktops can make do even with just LAN.

Thus, Toshiba created a pair of Portege laptops based on the Intel platform and which pack all of their hardware inside a one inch-thick frame.

The two newcomers are known as the R700-S1332W and R700-S1322W and have screen sizes of 13.3 inches.

The former has a configuration built around an Intel Core i5 central processing unit and a LED-backlit liquid crystal display (LCD).

It also has 4 GB of RAM, a hard disk drive of 320 GB (7,200 RPM) and a DVD Super multi optical drive, plus a webcam.

The R700-S1332W has a more powerful CPU, belonging to the Core i7 line, as well as a solid state drive of 128 GB.
